Mutations in FGFR1 were associated with growth traits in sheep (Ovis aries).

Abstract excerpt

For its role in the mediation of myoblast proliferation, fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) was considered a functional candidate gene for growth performance in Tibetan sheep. Via the polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-PFLP) approach, four single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) including g.14752C > T (intron 1), g.45361A > G (intron 7), g.49400A > G (3'UTR region) and...
